I very much enjoyed having the TAD-CE1TX in my home. It brought back all the good memories of the original CE1 with its concentric driver magic that helps create that especially “alive” sonic picture. Yes, the speakers are voiced to a degree that helps them show off vocals and most midrange-centric instruments just enough. And while the bass response is very good for a stand-mounted speaker like this, it definitely benefits being closer to a wall as I discovered when I tried them out in my smaller home theater space. If anything, I am now intrigued by the idea of checking out the newer matching tower speakers that are now part of the line.

Beyond sounding very good, the CE1TX also looks the part, being a truly handmade artisan product in the finest Japanese tradition. These are gorgeous, beautifully crafted loudspeakers produced by a very small and dedicated team of technicians and craftsmen that are worth keeping and handing down to someone in years to come. These are not your typical off-the-rack, commodity products by any stretch. They both sound and feel special and as such, are priced accordingly.
